The goal of this course is to provide a student with the comprehensive knowledge in the field of measurements and data analysis specific for the most demanding IC engines testing techniques - those related to engine working process analisys, emmision and dynamic behaviour of its components.

Integration of knowledge on thermodynamics of an engine working process, heat and mass transfer, flows and state of the art measurements techniques and measuring chains for IC Engine indicating, exhaust emission measurement and engine dynamics measurement. PhD student trained for conducting and organising a research in the IC engine testing lab.

- The importance of in-cylinder pressure measurement (indication in general) - Building pressure sensor and measuring chain - Thermodynamic relationships of engine working cycle parameters - Determining the piston TDC position - Data pretreatment, processing and analysis - Zero-point correction of the measurement data - Determination of residual gas proportion - Rapid evaluation methods - In-cylinder pressure indicating coupling with other rapid methods of measurement - Crankshaft instantenous speed and acceleration measurements - torsional vibration analysis

IC Engine test lab practice covering tasks incorporating in-cylinder pressure indicating , data processing and analysis; Practice on crankshaft torsional vibration measurement and data analysis; Practice with the Exhaust Emission test bench (NDIR, FID, Paramagnetic, Partial flow dilution tunnel,…);
